About me

I’m currently a full-time associate professor at Le Mans University. I give lectures at ENSIM (Engineering School) and at the Faculty of Computer Sciences.

Before joining the academia, my professional career over the past ten years has included Innovation Financial Consultant at Optinnove, Head of Research and Development at MobiTourism, Assistant Professor at the department of Industrial Engineering of INSA Lyon, and software engineer at AsiaForm.
